More amazing research using Canola oil.
Will this new technology replace specialty Canola`s such as Nextera and IMC

What They Say:

“This technology is called NSSL (Nano-sized self assembled structured liquids), which is a development of minute compressed micelles, which are called nanodrops. These minute micelles serve as a liquid carrier, which allows penetration of healthy components (such as vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals) that are insoluble in water or fats. The micelles are added to the food product, and thus pass through the digestive system effectively, without sinking or breaking up, to the absorption site. The minute micelles carry the phytosterols to the large micelles that the body produces from the bile acid, where they compete with cholesterol for entry into the micelle. The phytosterols enter the micelle, thereby inhibiting transportation of cholesterol from the digestive system into the bloodstream. This advanced technology was applied in the development of Canola Active oil, produced by Shemen Industries.”

Hermes,

IMC and Nexera are special cooking oils that fast food and restaurant cooking uses... and they are the trans fat solution in deep fried foods.

Ordinary consumer home cooking and consumption get NO benefit from IMC/Nexera specialty oils.

THE application looked at here would more likely be stacked into Canola quality... or high stability Canola cooking oils... if the tech transfer was actually possible into the specific application that is needed.

Is this what you mean?

Tom,

We have been using plant breeding and or GMO to develope a specific seed with a specific feature for a specific use.
With nano they can take an existing canola and insert the proper nano trait and get the same results.
So we may be entering a new generation where we breed for a high yield not a specific food trait. It will expand the pool of options that the breeders can use and remove the importance of the specific end use.
One other note is they are using Canola... No reason, outside the western Canadian Handicap (CWB) that scientist couldn't also do this with wheat or barley
